castaways

CBS today announced the 16 victims, um, contestants who will captivate and aggravate us in “Survivor: Tocantins — The Brazilian Highlands,” which debuts Feb. 12.

A CBS press release calls this venue one of the most “rugged locations” ever and claimed the castaways will “battle scorching temperatures, torrential downpours, and dangerous wildlife.”

This season, the castaways will be divided into two tribes from the very beginning and and each tribe will immediately choose one member to leave behind. That means making a solid first impression will be essential.
